10 Best Led Under Cabinet Lighting Hardwired (2022 Updated)

Love these lights. We took down 2 old LED bars during a kitchen renovation and had trouble finding the right replacement for our set up (outlet inside the upper cabinets). The set has a T junction so that you can mount the bars in opposite directions.

Love the motion detection so never have to worry about switching onoff with wet hands. Has a timer as well so lights will switch off after 3 hours if you forget to turn off.

I had another set of lights that had the stark blue color. These have a warm, more natural light. I really like the motion sensor, as sometimes I have my hands full or wet hands, so I can turn them on or off with a wave under the sensor.

I also like the 10 levels of brightness. I can get a “night light” soft glow all the way to a bright work light. This also comes in handy when the kitchen counter becomes a quick photography booth, I can dial in the right light.

A plus for the install is the variety of connecting cable lengths, as well as additional lengths available to purchase.

I bought these lights mostly because they are cool white, which is hard to find. They were easy to install. We just built a new home and had the builder put 3electric plugs connected to a wall switch above the cabinets so we could install upper and lower lighting.

The problem we are having is the lights won’t work with the wall switch. You can turn them off but not back on. They can only be turned back on by walking around to each area and pushing the button on the lower lights.

We have 3 sets for separate areas in the kitchen. They would be great for this application if we could turn them back on with the wall switch.

The color of the light was nice, and it was bright enough, but the motion sensor required that your hand pass within about 2″ of it, which makes it basically useless. I bought this item expecting that the sensor would sense anything within a few feet, leaving your hands free to do something else.

But if you have to move your hand within 2″ of the light, how is that better than just pushing a button or flipping a switch? To me, that makes the motion sensor a gimmick rather than a useful feature.

Put this system in new house, took 30 minutes and looks and works exactly as I hoped. No drilling, wires fit between cabinets. Many different install options with kit. 10 levels of dimming. Couldn’t be happier.

I’ve had under cabinet lighting for 15 or more years starting with fluorescent tubes and then moving to xenon halogen bulbs. These early iterations provided decent light, but clashed with my effort to move all lighting in my home to daylight balanced illumination.

I chose this Parmida light as part of 3 total pieces mainly due to the ability to change the color temperature to more closely blend with daylight balanced LED bulbs in the overhead fixtures in my kitchen.

Now I have kitchen lighting that doesn’t clash and look ugly! But there’s more. These Parmida UCL bar lights were fairly well thought out with a mounting system that goes directly through the chassis of the light making installation the easiest I’ve ever experienced.

In addition, the linking feature with included cables also makes life easier in being able to mount 2 lights close to each other and only use 1 wall receptacle for power. I have also enjoyed the swivel feature to allow lighting to be more directly applied where needed.

Now the downside(s) to these lights which in reality should have brought my rating of 5/5 down to 4. 5/5. The aforementioned swivel mechanism requires a backspacing from the cabinet skirt of about 1/2″ in order to utilize all the light produced by these bar lights.

Not really a down side, but something to be aware of. Also, since my installation was of the plug in variety, the 5 foot power cable is very stiff and somewhat difficult to tack into place out of view and the connector plugged into the end is longer than I’ve encountered before making a light reported to be a little over 12″ into more like an 14″ installation when all was said and done.

Oh well, I didn’t want that paper towel roll holder there anyway! One final thought for those contemplating these or other plug in style under cabinet lights. I do wish manufacturers would construct a light like these that could be both powered and linked simultaneously from the same end.

Those of you who’ve installed multiple lights know what I mean about the planning required to try to minimize the number of wall outlets required to power this kind of setup. I know, there’s always hard wiring, but I’m not in a position to do that right now.

All in all these are wonderful under cabinet lights that have unique features I find very useful and will light my kitchen for years to come without having to change out burned out xenon bulbs or tolerate soft white light mixed with daylight balanced lighting above.

The swivel feature of the bulb is a game changer for a desk or under-counter. It allows a 180 degree sweep of light and the ability to direct it away from shining directly into one’s eyes. Great feature.

The build quality of these MADE IN CHINA units is not cheap but not well-made either. The 5 year warranty on an LED bulb sounds impressive, but could easily be 10 years for a standard quality LED panel- remember the bulbs are not replaceable; when the bulb goes you throw the whole unit away because the bulb is not designed to be replaced.

Think of all the desktop lamps you or your parents had that last 30 years+ with replaceable bulbs. I’ve also noticed that after a few weeks, the light began to have an “afterglow” after turning it off.

While this is not a big deal, it is another sign the design quality is not that great. Having three light styles is nice, but I’m not sure what the best uses would be for the 4 and 5k color levels. Attaching the unit to the underside of a desk or cabinet is annoying because the screws provided are too short to bite well and the ports are too narrow for easy operation of a standard screwdriver.

Parmida needs to do a simple fix of this, it generates a lot of (unnecessary) complaints in the reviews. For 5 stars, it needs a better build quality, a glass panel for the light, and an LED made for a 10 year, not 5 year warranty.

The technology is there.

I bought four of these to replace hot halogen lights installed by the prior homeowner, hardwired to a wall switch. The features rate five stars: the unit on/off switches allow us to choose how many lights to use at any given time; the 3 lumen levels to suit the task; and the tilting light highlights specific areas.

The lack of good screws and a template rate one star. My issue is the flimsy screws (appear to be cheap #4, 3/4″) that don’t get. a good bite on the wood and which strip easily, and the lack of any template.

In an existing kitchen with fixed hardwire boxes already in place, cramped access was an issue. After frustrating attempts to use the cheap screws both through the unit and then through the keyholes with the cover removed, I put the cover back on and I simply used a longer good quality self-tapping #8 screw to get a good bite in the cabinet with a washer prevent the screw from going in below the surface of the unit.

In my case, 1. 75″ screws worked well without overpenetration. I threw out the furnished screws and the remaining three lights went in quickly. Once installed, we are very pleased.

I got this Lithiona Lighting LED Undercabinet Surface mount light fixture a couple weeks ago and it has made a significant improvement in our kitchen! It is 18 inches long and about an inch wide making a perfect length and almost inconspicuous width for underneath a cabinet.

It comes with very easy to understand instructions for mounting and power sourcing. It is dimmable which is an absolutely priceless feature. It can be very bright, but very dim as well. There is some minor wire stripping involved to hook everything up but this does not require a power outlet.

This fixture is linkable so if more lights are desired they easily connect to each other’s ports. And the light head swivels so you can angle your light when needed. I have nothing but good things to say about this light as it is also very lightweight.

I recommend this to anyone looking for a good quality, dimmable, simple installation, and lightweight light fixture for underneath any cabinet.

Out of the box this under cabinet light is fairly simple. It’s sold as an extension piece so you can clip it right into an existing light with ease. Each piece can be hardwired but only the first in a line has to be which is where the problem of this being sold as an extension comes in.

My only real complaint is that it does not come with a power cord and you have to buy one separately, which I was unaware of until reading the instruction pamphlet. The outer box makes no indication that it doesn’t come with one (unless I somehow missed it) and that is a bummer.

That aside, the light is bright and easy to add onto if you’re doing a long stretch of work space or multiple cabinets but it stands alone just as well. My favorite feature is the ability to swivel the light which I don’t think I’ve ever come across as far as under cabinet lights go.

It’s also lightweight and won’t put any strain on whatever you’re attaching it to. It’s easy to install, easy to add onto, simple and gets the job done. Just make sure you find a power cord if you aren’t planning to hardwire.

I received this and it is perfect size for my cabinet next to my stove I still need to buy the plug in piece but I’m excited to use this and hopefully buy more to do my whole kitchen. My kitchen is a galley kitchen and is pretty dark.

I believe bring more light in would make it much more happy feeling. It would have a great impact on how I feel about that room. I should add these are really nice quality I have one from Walmart and it is not even half as nice as this one.

I tried this light for a customer who is moving from florescent into LED under cabinet lights. This is a nice light, with an adjustable bulb and setting changes from high to low light levels. The issue is installation.

It comes with permanent connecters that you attach to the building wires then stuff the whole mess into the back of the light, then slip on a cap on the back of the light and then attach to cabinet. Even with 14g wire there was no way to stuff the connectors, light wire, and building wire inside the light.

It was easier to take the light apart to make connections inside, the put back together. Works fine but plan on more time for installation that you might expect.

The family loves the Undercabinet 120 V PCB Integrated LED Lights. We really like the three different color temperatures and the ability to turn each assembly off or on. We also love the swiveling feature.

One out of the three light assemblies was partially destroyed during shipping. 1STOPLIGHTING replaced it very promptly and so I’m giving the shipping 5 stars. I would purchase from 1STOPLIGHTING again for sure.

1STOPLIGHTING’s attention to customer service is unrivaled. Thank you!.

Love these kitchen under counter light bars. They replace the original ones which had LED bulbs. So much brighter. I never realized how muted the light was over my counters until these were installed.

I would buy again and recommend. Easy installation.

Love the lights. They came very quickly. I cheated with installation and used a glue gun, but they really light up under my shelves in what was a pretty dark area of my counter. I used some lamp-chord to extend of the chords and now have ample lighting over my stove as well.

Really like the dimmer switch.

These lights are awesome! The light is very bright and the LED’s do not get very hot. This lights up my soldering work area nicely. Cool Beans!! 🙂

These lights are bright and was easy to install in my kitchen. I would recommend them. Although I bought the warm light it was much lighter than I wanted, but overall I am satisfied.

Installation was fairly easy and provides sufficient light for tasking on kitchen cabinets. Two issues: one of three lights is pink tone, while the others are more yellow. The biggest issue is that the on/off sensor on one light only worked with repeated touching and fussing around.

Because I can reinstall the LED strip to the same brackets for this particular fixture, I bought a replacement. Paying another $100+ is a risk, but if it has the same problem, it will be returned.

I ordered a this light to improve the lighting in my back counter space, and I have not been disappointed. The lights are easy to install, brighten up my space immeasurably. I am do a cooking show online and post my food to Instagram afterward, this improved lighting has made photos much brighter and with truer colors.

I’m sorry we didn’t order these earlier! Very impressive!.

This light is being used to illuminate the foot pedal keys which are under the manual keyboards of a historic pipe organ. It works perfectly for the purpose. a good feature is that the lighting level can be set at a mid-range level and each time the light is turned on it returns to the level previously set.

The slim profile is a real plus.

I brought one of these cabinet/desk top light for under my kitchen cabinet. I have to say it’s absolutely a great buy! I tried it out and now have two of them. It really gives off a lot of light!! It has steplessly light settings, you can turn each setting high or low.

All you have to do is plug it up and it’s ready! Super easy, easy simple instructions. At night, my husband who (frequents the kitchen especially at night. lol. ) or our 2 son’s may want a glass of water and they never have to turn on the kitchen light.

I ususally keep my oven range light on overnight but they still turn on the kitchen light for crying out loud. It’s a plus for us we pay for electricity. If having these lights shaves a few dollars or cents off the bill at the end of the month then hip hip hooray!! Plus these lights look very cool and sleek! I will purchase at least 1 more.

This product is not a motion detector. but it’s Easy breezy lemon squeezy!.

I used the lights for work in a lab. Setting up supplies for a patient was hard on my eyes because with the cabinet door open, it blocked a lot of light from the ceiling light. These were easy to install.

Lightly tap on opposite end of light to turn on and off. The magnet that holds the light in place could be a little stronger but you will learn not to tap it too hard to make it fall off the magnet. I liked these so well, I bought 2 more after buying 2 the first time.

Now we have added light in 4 patient exam rooms. I love that these plug in, others have batteries that run down too quick. Satisfied customer.

This is perfect for under my kitchen cabinet to illuminate my counter where i do meal prep. This area was always in shadow when i worked in this spot and bothered my eyes. Now this area is easily illuminated to the degree of brightness i desire with the lil press on a button when i work in the area.

I also can use only this light at night and easily see all around. I like that this casts a bright whiter light than a yellowish light like a different lamp i got. This is small and light weight and was VERY easy to install under my cabinet.

I will be getting another of these as it is perfect for under cabinet lighting in my kitchen.

After having three different types of under-cabinet lighting in my previous home, I went back to these Juno lights in my new home — they’re dimmable, shine down and not out from under the cabinets, thereby reducing glare, and are attractively designed.

ProLighting. com was a pleasure to work with; I would happily return to them for future lighting needs.

The lights were easy to wire and install. The quality of the light and the look of the fixture are so much nicer than the old halogen light bars that I replaced, not to mention, so much cooler. No heat is the cabinet above the light.

When doing our kitchen update/remodel lighting was a big choice for us because we lacked it and the wife/cook was always complaining that she couldn’t see very well or was shadowing over the stove and/or countertop so we took note and came up with the perfect solution.

That solution was Juno-UCES LED 12-in Hardwired/plug-in Under Cabinet Light Bar and wow what a difference this light bar offers! It not only works for under cabinet lighting in the kitchen but can be used anywhere extra lighting is needed such as dorms, offices, work areas and even in such as curio cabinets or any other furniture that you may have repurposed for allowing displays.

Can be used for residential or light commercial applications. The light bar is energy star certified,has 3 different color temperatures that range from warm to cool by toggling the switch to whichever setting is needed, works with most incandescent dimmers, can be installed from either the back or side of the light bar and comes with a 5 year warranty! The hardware is included and it’s rather simple to install time wise.

We couldn’t be any happier with the lighting this light bar offers and if you are in the market for some extra lighting in one of your spaces I strongly urge you to give them and this light bar a try and you too will be illuminated real soon with top notch lighting!.

I didn’t realize my kitchen needed an under the cabinet light until I installed the Juno UCES UNDERCABINET light. A very easy install using my screwgun, I pre drilled starter holes after marking exactly where the light will be installed.

Then easily installed the light. No electrical wiring needed. The size fits perfectly under the cabinet too. It’s not too bright in the middle of the night, but shines enough light perfect for safety.

I had been wanting some new under cabinet lighting and I am glad I chose these lights. I am not one to mess with electricity so I hired someone to put them in. He stated that the install was one of the easiest under cabinet lighting fixtures that he had come across.

He seemed impressed by how simple they were to install. Over all I love the look and the fact that you can select the light color output.
